Fletcher jumped to 11th and was in contention with the lead group before falling back on the final climb, according to a U.S. Ski Team news release.

"Today was a solid day," Fletcher said in the release. "I was more concerned about my cross-country race (Saturday) than my jumping. I was able to hang tough but just didn't quite have the legs for the final attack into the finish.

"I feel confident they will come in the next few weeks. I still feel my shape is just starting to ramp up."

Teammate and brother Taylor Fletcher was disqualified for a jumping suit violation.

“Bryan had a good day,” coach Dave Jarrett said the release. “He was close to the podium group in cross-country with Jason (Lamy Chappuis) just off the front. The last climb up into the stadium was too much at the end for Bryan, but all in all it was a good day.”

The World Cup continues Sunday with a team sprint event. Along with the Fletcher brothers, Steamboat Springs’ Todd Lodwick and Olympic gold medalist Billy Demong are expected to compete for the U.S.

"Going into (Sunday) I am just looking to have some fun," Bryan Fletcher said. "It's not every day you get to compete in a World Cup team with your younger brother. I definitely am excited to share the experience with him.

"We are not expecting much in the results category, but I feel like it's a good opportunity to practice going into Val di Fiemme (World Championships) and I think it will be more then anything a fun race."
